Yogurt Base
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for added crunch)
- Line a Baking Sheet: Start by lining a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper to ensure the yogurt bark can be easily removed after freezing.
- Mix Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture well until it becomes smooth and evenly blended.
- Spread Yogurt: Pour the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to approximately 1/2 inch thickness, ensuring a uniform layer for freezing.
- Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the mixed fresh berries across the yogurt layer, gently pressing them into the surface. If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts on top for an extra crunchy texture.
- Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and let it freeze for 3 to 4 hours, or until the yogurt is completely firm and set.
- Remove and Break: Once fully frozen, remove the yogurt bark from the tray by lifting the parchment paper. Break it into pieces of your preferred size for serving.
- Store: Store any leftover yogurt bark pieces in an airtight container in the freezer to enjoy as a refreshing snack later.
